In Schwarz einen sechsstrahligen goldenen Stern über einem goldenen Dreiberg.

Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on January 13, 1950.

The star is taken from the arms of the Von Hörmann family from Kaufbeuren, to whom the village belonged since 1545. The base shows a mountain, which is canting (Berg=mountain).
